Travel was a lot easier when Easy was on her own. There was no Dawn to keep up with, no Aditya to worry about, and most importantly, no one to tell her not to do things. Which was why - when she saw an injured raven in the lower branches of a gnarled old tree - Easy found herself in a difficult position halfway up an aging aspen. Either the bird had moved or she'd gone too far up, because now it was below her, peering in her direction with a somewhat quizzical expression on its face.
"Shut up," Easy grizzled, trying to shift around so that she could get back down. Perhaps nose-pointing-down was not the best course of action... but she was hard-pressed to find a way down without being able to see where she was going. Perhaps there wasn't a way down at all. While she'd found footholds of some kind on the way up, the tree's trunk looked awfully smooth from where she was now perched. "I think I'm in trouble, dude," she said to the raven, halting her struggled to catch her breath.
